Thank you very much Mario and Jeremy. I have proposed the additional cascade on github <https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/6510>, hopefully it can be implemented in one of the future upgrades.
Coming back to the main topic, is there a standard way to reference/transclude a shadow tiddler that was replaced by a standard tiddler? This would make possible overwriting a shadow tiddler with a standard tiddler that is *dynamically derived from the shadow itself*, even after a plugin upgrade. Example: 1. user overwrites the shadow $:/plugin/some-tiddler with a standard tiddler of the same title 2. the original shadow tiddler can be accessed/referenced with the title $:/plugin/some-tiddler/overwritten (or an equivalent way) 3. the user can write wikitext inside $:/plugin/some-tiddler which references $:/plugin/some-tiddler/overwritten , e.g. through something like {{{ [{$:/plugin/some-tiddler/overwritten}search-replace["text to replace"],["replace with this"]] }}} 4. when there is a plugin upgrade, $:/plugin/some-tiddler/overwritten gets automatically updated. If the new version is different, a log reminds the user to review the diff to check that things aren't broken. 5. if the plugin upgrade makes the customisation obsolete, the user can simply delete $:/plugin/some-tiddler Thank you all, Dam On Sunday, February 27, 2022 at 4:49:45 PM UTC+1 jeremy...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi damscal > > It's a good idea.
